Documents list
[6] The Secretariat introduced the documents list and it is presented as Appendix 2 of this report.
2. DPs status to be submitted to SC for Member Consultation approval (2014)
[7] The Secretariat introduced the paper. It was acknowledged that the TPDP had agreed in its 2013
December virtual meeting1 that the following five draft diagnostic protocols (DPs) would be
submitted to the Standards Committee (SC) for approval for 2014 member consultation:
(1) Erwinia amylovora (2004-009)
(2) Genus Anastrepha (2004-015)
(3) Ditylenchus destructor / D. dipsaci (2004-017)
(4) Phytoplasmas (general) (2004-018)
(5) Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) and Watermelon
silver mottle virus (WSMoV) (2004-019)
[8] It was noted by the Secretariat that for the DPs on E. amylovora (2004-009) and Phytoplasmas
(general) (2004-018), there was a TPDP e-decision2 closing on 04 February and the panel agreed to
submit the draft DPs to the SC. It was also acknowledged that these draft DPs have been submitted to
the SC, via SC e-decision, on 10 February 2014.
[9] The Secretariat mentioned that the next TPDP e-decision is scheduled to 20 February - 01 March
2014 for the DPs on Ditylenchus destructor / D. dipsaci (2004-017) and Genus Anastrepha (2004-
015). For the DP on Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) and
Watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) (2004-019), the TPDP e-decision is scheduled from 17 to
27 March 2014.
[10] It was also mentioned that these draft DPs are subject of revision by the IPPC editor prior to submit to
the SC. The Secretariat emphasized again the importance of meeting deadlines due to flexibility

limitations for the SC e-decisions dates and inclusion in the 2014 member consultation calendar. The
panel members provided an updated on the status of the draft DPs.
3. DPs status to be submitted to Experts Consultation on IPP in 2014
[11] The Secretariat introduced the paper and pointed out that during the 2013 TPDP December virtual
meeting it was agreed to submit eleven draft DPs to the expert consultation process (Expert
Consultation on Draft Diagnostic Protocols (ECDP)3 prior to the next TPDP face-to-face meeting
4 as
presented in Table 1 below.
[12] It was noted by the Secretariat that the first ECDP is currently open until 24 March 2014 for the drafts
on Xanthomonas fragariae (2004-012) and Sorghum halepense (2006-027).
[13] The panel members provided an update on the status of the draft DPs that are intended to be submitted
to an ECDP in 2014. It was noted that some of the draft DPs may not be ready to the second ECDP,
thus they will be postponed to the third time. However, the draft DPs for Xiphinema americanum
(2004-025) and Genus Liriomyza (2006-017) will be submitted to the second ECDP and the draft DPs
for Aphelenchoides besseyi, A. ritzemabosi and A. fragariae (2006-025), Citrus tristeza virus (2004-
021) and Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (2004-016) were postponed for the third ECDP.
[14] The Secretariat encouraged the TPDP members to advertise the ECDP among research institutions
and other scientific societies/communities.

TPDP February 2014 Report
Page 6 of 13 International Plant Protection Convention
[18] The Secretariat pointed out that a fourth ECDP might be opened in April 2014 with one month length
to ensure that all draft DPs that are intended to be discussed during the 2014 TPDP July meeting will
be subject of the expert consultation. Also, it was expressed that the deadline to the discipline leads to
send all meeting documents, including the draft DPs, to the Secretariat is 30 May 2014. The
Secretariat deadline to post all draft DPs to the 2014 July meeting is 06 June. This date is to provide
enough time to the panel members to revise the drafts prior to the meeting and the need to commit to
this deadline is fundamental to ensure a successful meeting.
[19] Some members expressed that they are facing some difficulties to contact the DP drafting groups. The
Secretariat mentioned that the discipline leads can intervene with all authors and also request
Secretariat assistance.
4. Diagnostic protocols (DPs): status update – DPs approved by SC for adoption (on
behalf of CPM) and submitted to the 45 notification period (15 December 2013 –
30 January 2014)
[20] The Secretariat updated the panel members on the DPs that were submitted to the SC for approval for
adoption. The two DPs, Tilletia indica Mitra (2004-014) and Phyllosticta citricarpa (McAlpine) Aa
on fruit (2004-023) were approved for the 45 days notification period5 which closed on 30 January
2014. It was informed that, for the first time in history, the SC, on behalf of the Commission on
Phytosanitary Measures (CPM), has adopted an ISPM: Annex to ISPM 27. 2006. (Diagnostic
protocols for regulated pests): Annex 4: Tilletia indica Mitra. The Secretariat thanked all the experts
involved in the drafting of this DP, especially Mr Johannes DE GRUYTER, the discipline lead of
these two DPs.
[21] The Secretariat acknowledged that the other draft DP, Annex to ISPM 27:2006: Phyllosticta
citricarpa (McAlpine) Aa on fruit (2004-023), received a formal objection. It was also mentioned that
this draft will now be returned to the TPDP, who will review the formal objection and advice the SC
on how to proceed. On this, a draft paper with a TPDP position on the formal objection received was
developed by the discipline lead with scientific support and inputs from the DP drafting group and the
steward.
[22] The discipline lead introduced the draft TPDP position paper. It was informed that for the first
comment6 (referred to the synonyms “Phoma citricarpa var. milkan”) the literature provided by Japan
(Hara, 1960, 1961, Kitajima, 1989) indicates that Phoma citricarpa var. milkan (or Phoma erratica)
was reported to cause symptoms different from those of P. citricarpa. It was also mentioned that in
Wang & Hai (1974), the authors concluded that P. citricarpa var. milkan (or P. erratica) and P.
citricarpa share morphological characters. However, the authors have not provided a conclusion on
the taxonomy of both organisms. On this information, the DP drafting group, agreed with the
Japanese advice to remove P. citricarpa var. mikan from the list of synonyms.
[23] The TPDP agreed with the DP drafting group to remove the Phoma citricarpa var. mikan from the list
of synonyms of Phyllosticta citricarpa (McAlpine) Aa on fruit (2004-023) draft DP.
[24] For the second set of comments, the discipline lead explained that the proposal from Japan is to add
the possibility of a direct diagnosis based on symptoms of typical hard spots (> 2mm in diameter)
with distinct pycnidia and conidia. This would be an addition of a diagnostic method based on
symptoms (spots on fruits) in Figure 4: Revise the amended proposal to the flow diagram. The
discipline lead also mentioned that this comment 2 is in line with comment 3 provided by Japan.

Report TPDP February 2014
International Plant Protection Convention Page 7 of 13
[25] It was expressed that, the DP drafting group, discipline lead and steward did not agreed with Japan’s
proposed changes into paragraph 38 and into the flow diagram (Figure 4). The proposed changes were
considered not reliable identification methods. Some main points of discussion made by the DP
drafting group, discipline lead and steward presented in the paper provided were as follow:
[26] - Japan proposed method concerns both visual inspection of fruit and lab testing (observation
under the microscope). Also, in case the only morphological character that differentiates P. citricarpa
from other Phyllosticta species having overlapping spore sizes and mucoid sheath width, is the length
of the apical appendage. On this, the reliability of this method is not certain, knowing that the length
of the appendage is not easily observed and measured under any type of microscope;
[27] - The presence of hard spot type of lesions with pycnidia on citrus fruit is a strong indication (but
not a proof) that P. citricarpa is present; however, more reliable methods should be also applied in
order to identify the pathogen with certainty;
[28] - There are no studies available so far on the cultural and morphological characters of all the
Phyllosticta species reported on Citrus spp. on the same culture media and under the same incubation
conditions, the method proposed by the Japanese references (direct detection/identification based on
morphology). On this basis, the method proposed by Japan is not reliable for the detection and
identification of P. citricarpa;
[29] - The sentence included under paragraph 15 “It should be noted that in symptomless citrus fruit or
fruit with very small spots (<2 mm in diameter) without pycnidia, the non-pathogenic endophyte
Phyllosticta capitalensis Henn. (formerly incorrectly referred to as Guignardia mangiferae A.J. Roy)
(Glienke et al., 2011), recorded in many plant families, may be present.” is only an observation, it has
not been confirmed by scientifically sound evidence and therefore, it cannot be used as a justification
for adopting the method proposed by Japan;
[30] - Published data is available for P. citriasiana having only Citrus maxima as a host, and that P.
citricarpa does not have C. maxima as a host. The moment that this proof is solid and published, a
change in this issue would be possible: Direct diagnosis, based on symptoms, combined with the
presence of typical pycnidia and spores, would then be possible for Citrus spp. other than C.maxima;
[31] - Reiterated the data on hosts for P. citriasiana and that P. citricarpa have not been finally
published, it is not prudent to accept to change the diagnostic protocol in such a way that a final
diagnosis of Citrus Black Spot based on morphology alone is possible for all Citrus species except C.
maxima. Moreover, published data of inoculation experiments are needed for a more definite
conclusion about host specificity;
[32] - Considered the points of discussion, the DP drafting group, discipline lead and steward proposed a
change from the words “identified” into “detected” in the flow diagram. The title of the diagram is
now changed into “flow diagram for the identification of Phyllosticta citricarpa on citrus fruit (Figure
4). The DP text was also modified to reflect this. Once again, based on scientific evidences, further
changes in the draft DP were not considered reliable for the diagnosis.
[33] One panel member highlighted that based on this draft position paper, the TPDP has enough
scientific-based information to not agree with the Japan’s comments 2 and 3 provided in the DP
notification period. On this basis, the TPDP agreed with the position provided by the DP drafting
group, discipline leads and steward and with the change proposed from “identified’ into “detected” in
the flow diagram, the change of the title of the flow diagram and adjustments in the main text to
reflect this change.
[34] The discipline lead will finalize and consolidate all scientific data into the draft TPDP position paper
on the formal objection received for the draft on Phyllosticta citricarpa (McAlpine) Aa on fruit
(2004-023) and will circulate with the TPDP members for final approval.
TPDP February 2014 Report
Page 8 of 13 International Plant Protection Convention
[35] The Secretariat highlighted that this paper needs the panel’s final approval as a formal TPDP response
to the formal objection received and then will be submitted to the SC in its 2014 May meeting. The
deadline to the Secretariat receive the final document is 10 April 2014.
5. Diagnostic protocols (DPs): status update – out of 2013 member consultation and
intended to be submitted for adoption on March 2014
[36] The two draft DPs, Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (2004-011) and Potato spindle tuber viroid
(PSTVd) (2006-022), were subject to the 2013 member consultation. The Secretariat mentioned that it
was agreed in the 2013 TPDP December virtual meeting that these two DPs will be submitted to the
SC for approval for adoption in 2014, prior to the 2014 SC May meeting. This date is to have these
draft DPs going to the 01 July 2014 45-days notification period, if the SC approves.
[37] The discipline lead for X. citri subsp. citri (2004-011) informed that the responses to the comments
were already submitted to the Secretariat along with the revised draft DP. He mentioned that almost
all comments were addressed and agreed and he pointed out that the comments submitted by the IPPC
members really contributed to improve the draft DP.
[38] The Secretariat mentioned that for the PSTVd (2006-022) draft DP, the authors are still working on
the responses to the comments and to adjust the draft accordingly. It was highlighted the importance
of meeting deadlines due to flexibility limitations for the SC e-decisions dates, otherwise this draft DP
will be delayed to be presented to the SC and thus submitted to the notification period.
6. Call for authors
[39] The Secretariat remarked that at its 2013 December virtual meeting the TPDP identified the need to
open a call for authors to the following draft DPs:
Liberibacter solanacearum (2013-001)
Conotrachelus nenuphar (2013-002)
Anguina spp. (2013-003)
Fusarium moniliformis / moniforme syn. F. circinatum (2006-021)
[40] The Secretariat mentioned that the January 2014 call for authors7 was open on the 16 January and will
be closed in 21 February 2014. It was also mentioned that no deadline extension would be made and it
was asked to the panel members to advertise this call among their NPPOs.
[41] It was also mentioned that the Secretariat will open soon a call for authors for the draft DP on
Anoplophora spp. (2004-020), as a request by the discipline lead.
7. Update on the TPDP work plan
[42] The Secretariat presented the 2013-2014-2015 work plan and mentioned that has been updated after
the last virtual meeting occurred in December 2013. It was noted that the changes made were on the
deadlines. There were no comments.
8. TPDP meeting reports
[43] The Secretariat informed that the 2013 TPDP December virtual meeting report is posted on the IPP8.
It was also informed that the 2013 TPDP June meeting report is under edits and will be posted by
March on the IPP.

9. Follow-up Actions for next TPPD Virtual Meeting
[44] The TPDP agreed that the next virtual meeting will occur in 24 April 2014. It was noted that one
member will not be able to join. The Secretariat mentioned that efforts will be done to change the time
of the meeting in the attempt to fit all members in the best time according to the different time zones.
10. Other business
[45] The Secretariat mentioned that the Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) is initiating a new phase in its
work program and that the IPPC Secretariat, in relates to the TPDP was invited to work in partnership
with the GTI. It was noted that some TPDP members have previously worked in some GTI projects,
especially in Europe, and that these projects were concluded. The Secretariat is considering how the
GTI and the TPDP can work together and an update on this subject will be done to the panel.
[46] The Secretariat remarked that an internship position9 is open to work within the Standards Setting
team for four months, starting in mid-April 2014. The intern will work with the Secretariat lead for
diagnostic protocols and will assist in the organization of the TPDP meetings, the development and
formatting of technical discussion papers and meeting reports, and in editing draft diagnostic
protocols. The deadline for submissions is 21 February 2014. The Secretariat asked to the panel
members to advertise this internship position.
[47] One member queued about the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) re-establishment
of the project General requirements for molecular biology analysis for detection and identification of
destructive organisms in plants and derived products as an active project (ISO/DIS 13484) whereas in
resolution 68/13 the ISO Committee considered the results of this vote on ISO/DIS 13484 and the
need for further consultation with the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization
(EPPO) and IPPC to address their concerns. The deadline to submit comments to ISO was 05
February 2014. It was addressed that this subject could be included in the agenda for the next TPDP
virtual meeting for further discussion and updated information.
[48] The Secretariat mentioned that there are headsets available for those TPDP members that need a set of
it to perform better their participation in the TPDP virtual meetings. For those that need a headset
should contact the IPPC Secretariat and shipment will be provided.
11. Close of the meeting
[49] The Secretariat thanked all the participants and all the TPDP members for work developed for the
draft DPs and for the presence in this meeting, especially for those with the time zone outside of the
working hours.
